"genotype of repression"
Jimmy Watt

Visual artist and Sononautic of
Santiago de Chile, Chile since 2005.

His sound work methodology focuses mainly on the capture, extraction, editing and storage
of audio samples from different sources:
records on the street
dialogues extracts
audiovisual edits and converts of radio signals
uses a shortwave radio to capture foreign broadcasts
uses EVP
911 calls ...etc.
Transforms, relentlessly, curtails, beheads and sews sound works from different backgrounds and authors,
providing the glue that comes from analog-digital instruments and audio processors and resulting
in a "sound narration" split into parts.
His creative concepts pursues mysticism, the occult, time,
religions, the process that leads to contemplation,
the silence, the pause, the suspension, death and upstarts.
No musician describes himself
according to their own words.
"What I do not see myself as music, I do not feel musical, I not position myself musically.
I DO NOT THINK musically, I'm more close to the investigation,
to the pamphleteer, the readymade and the situation.
Even so shamanic
the Medium
Channeling.
No rhythm and no melody that dominates the whole picture.
Abuse of rhythm and melody is a necessary evil for those who can not handle a drift.
It's like being in a large room without light. You need to touch the walls and artifacts that
fill the room to feel welcome in the position and perspective."
